A reminder that there is still a week left for you to join us at Try it on Tuesday for the Children theme. Any type of crafting that follows our theme and guidelines would be great so do join in. Today you will also see our choice for the top 5 from the last challenge.

Country View Crafts have Travel the World as their theme for this month

I made a front for a journal The main images are from Luna Girl and a stamp by Rogue Redhead  The quote from Tim Holtz and labels are all Tim Holtz as well. I just used crumbled brown paper for the background and designed the Autumn Leaves paper myself


Altered Eclectics is always anything goes so long as it is something altered and follows their rules. The challenges lasts for the whole of September


I covered a box

Box taken apart
Painted inside




left over wallpaper to cover outside

reassembled


Belt--a 50p find at a car boot sale. I used some of this to make the fastener. The ties are leather and the other pieces metal. Still a lot left to use for other things and lots of beads as well.

Hope you have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Loving that travel page Chrissie. And the journey is definitely the beginning of the adventure seeing after a trip there is always the travel journal to make. :) The box came out gorgeous too. You found a great piece of jewelry to dissect for the latch. Have a great Tuesday. Hugs-Erika

    The cover is lovely, but the box is a real show stopper, looks like a very expensive piece from a fancy boutique, great! Have a fun day, take care, and enjoy your tennis. Hugs, Valerie

    What a fabulous post, Chrissie - with terrific projects (though it won't show me the last photo at the moment. I'll come back later to try again). The Parisian page is just fantastic, capturing that golden age excitement and colour and style. Love it! And the textured treasure box is a triumph (you can tell I'm excited by the alliteration). Fabulous work.

    Wow Chrissie, the treasure box looks gorgeous. It looks like it would have cost a huge amount of money to buy in one of those specialist type shops.
    The travel cover is fantastic as well, lots of super additions and details.

    I'm in awe of the travel piece. I wish I had more time, I'd join in, since I bought some Paris related napkins recently. Your page is spectacular.

    That box is unbelievable. Who would have thought a lowly box could be turned into a genuine work of art! It's ingenious.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
